神話不僅是描述神明與人類的虛構故事，過去世界各地曾經也出現神明與人類共存的地方與時代。

那時被稱為神代。

這是其中一個屬於櫻花國、口耳相傳的傳說，發生在人類與八百萬神、各方魑魅魍魎共存、撲朔迷離的時代。
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjAGKnjPTI
有關村莊的守護神傳說所在地，僅是一座普通無奇的山，其中有一小座神社位於山腰，山腳底下便是人煙稠密的村莊，村民尊稱那位守護神為「御靈神」。

御靈神從有意識開始，日復一日待在這個木製窄小的本殿裡面，連其他屬於神社的範圍亦未曾踏足。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWySCloDQG

每天清晨傾聽信眾的祈禱，傾盡全力為他們帶來幸福，空閒時為他們禱福，祈求天照大神和高天原照看祂力所不及的位置。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoelWot6wd
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ocUVnZSZv
於祂眼裡，外面的面孔來來去去就那麼幾百人，皆來自山腳的村莊。各人祈禱內容各有所異，但亦有共同點。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBepHsta61
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PTuHqygq1
他們愛用別的生靈遺骸送予衪，說是供品，會飛的、地上爬行的無一倖免。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GJWetaYtq
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Lt7tbgDTU
御靈神蹙眉看著供品，眼神轉到村民旁邊的大樹。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvRYYaL44h
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPrPphE32B
那顆大樹枝杈上結滿凝聚水珠、充滿生命力的果子，想必可以成為甜美的供品。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj9OFa4czB
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIev7AhIkQl
視線再次轉移至正虔誠伏拜至地的婦女，若是願意，她親手縫紉的成品亦能是上好供品，無須刻意殺生。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGgAC5wlmD
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCUhS49kth
可他們偏生更傾向用生靈遺骸的部分，似乎覺得這種供品更受神明喜愛和享用。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXtzcAZccR

村民們每天旭日初升時，定點來報道，嘴說著把珍而重之、得來不易的供品獻給神明，可轉眼間又把這些珍寶棄如敝屣，掉棄在供桌之上。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYagCRQ0lQL
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQYnKVx2Mh
雖然無法理解村民們的悲哀與期求，但衪應盡量應許他們的祈求，御靈神端坐於本殿內，再次細細檢視村民的願望。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkq2jr7AhR
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9rFQGorzx
祈願即是衪誕生的意義，亦是衪的職責所在。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXi0cx5WA2

127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22iH1ifOxC
御靈神啪一聲合上疏文，揉揉疲累的眉目，側過頭透過木門欞仰望被木方格子分裂的天空。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE3P4PcJXV
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7uTrsHcnv
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtBwqK6lbn
此時突然傳來陌生幼童聲音，聲音像頻臨死亡的鳥雀般虛弱。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKthPBQEuL
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtmWdKBSyk
「御靈神大人，我們兄妹已經數天沒有進食，能否賜予一點您不需要的食物？」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kiLELNG1x
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUpIdRL6I5
視線一轉，入目是兩個面黃肌瘦的孩子，本應肉乎乎的臉蛋瘦得面骨清晰可見，眼眶凹陷，雙目卻如魚目般突出。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjlRat2t3k
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcArUkJifPQ
稍年長的哥哥牽着年幼的妹妹來到本殿前，不管於他們眼中的神明是否有回應，顯然眼前真實存在的食物更為重要和確實能救回自己性命。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwVVZozTZk
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8ujXzbK3y
哥哥來到擺放食物的供桌前，身子頓了會，語氣猶豫、小聲嘀咕著：「怎麼會有薄皮毛包著骨頭的東西？完全無法食用呀。」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUsYZ7PjL0
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb30ZQ899o
他再三檢查旁邊的供品，左挑右選方才找到些勉強能吃用的乾癟果子放到妹妹面前：「這裡的御靈神大人慈悲，放心吃吧。」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4zK3EBS3i
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPiv6nvmBC
神明是否慈悲他無法得知，但眼下能讓妹妹吃飽喝足就可以了。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V49TGdMlD
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEUsoGL8Nd
妹妹口水直流，腹中刺痛的飢餓感讓她難以思考，腦海中唯有「放心吃」這句話迴盪，沾滿污垢的小手小心翼翼拿起供奉用的果子，一顆接一顆狼吞虎嚥。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXuMQclena
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGJbHyJbxC
「好吃！好吃！」妹妹一股腦把東西都塞進口裡，臉蛋圓圓滿滿的，雙手各拿一點：「哥哥！快吃！」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZbmbqlH3D
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk7EqZXRRB
哥哥接過後倒未急著進食，而是讓妹妹慢慢食，確定她進食速度有所減慢，不會造成影響後，他也開始吃用剩下的。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU10fuD69XC
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul1bd6154u
最初是一口一口，後來越吃越快，眼淚大滴大滴掉落。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcud8m4wV2j
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8THGbUFtCC
甜嗎？不甜，甚至酸得有點苦澀，偶然會有一絲絲甜味，但至少能果腹，吃了也不會面臨中毒和生病的困境。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBApcSsfm9
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh85pILglmk
「我們已經很久沒有吃過正常食物，感謝神明。」哥哥伏身在供桌前，額頭貼地面，向本殿方向道謝。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXxnV0Mta5
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInW9G8Qx9T
「感謝神明。」妹妹附和道，胃袋沉甸甸的感覺讓她感到安全，曾經埋沒的好奇和孩子特有的調皮開始萌芽。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCOyv9jnNW
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjmrlMdtBo
她笨拙地學習哥哥向神明祈禱的動作，跪拜於本殿前，雙眸看以緊閉，暗暗張開眼睛至一小條線，悄悄瞥去本殿內打量。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCdPsmL2JY
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3V8ROoxto
許是神明垂愛又或機遇巧合，她從那日久失修的木門裂縫中窺見超脫世俗的美。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabNsXMfwsf
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfzBvzmwcy
神明大人獨自坐在昏暗的本殿裡，陽光透到門欞灑到裡面，衪有一頭於後方稍微束起、長如瀑布的白髮和身穿雪白衣裳，以及……127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg7j384pIg
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkse9bLypT2
以及……比天空更亮的色彩的雙眼！127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkFkYjF88y
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgSzDonOm6
「嗚嘩！！」妹妹一下子往後用力過猛，原來她為了更好的看到裡面，身體不知不覺地往前伸展了許多，而這下用力過猛自然讓她身子往後翻倒。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd0qM8VDcp
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajWqSqTloZ
哥哥見此管不上自己還在屈膝貼地俯伏的姿勢，連忙想趕在妹妹受傷前接住她。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0KmF37hDB
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbasPjtwfJ
幸好他成功了，他真是盡責而優秀的哥哥！127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8PUlPIzie
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWXZLuOfb1
「怎麼了？有受傷嗎？」哥哥緊張問道，但妹妹眼神呆呆，把心提得懸高的哥哥嚇得魂魄飛離，生怕唯一相依的妹妹出了什麼狀況。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjSyzb3kOV
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ABu5V6bFT
良久妹妹突然發出一連串笑聲，興奮揮動雙手，聲音因迫不及待的分享而變得有點尖銳，說話語速比平時快了不止一星半點，哥哥勉強分辨其內容。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RtCSW6Wxy
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyGvoIrxNA
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCpWhSlwyc

「哥哥，你跟神明大人許了什麼願望？」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL2S92kLXz
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43Bn3vzQwz

127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRnOwvKYLa
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3DUUYBt8m
於殿內關注於兩人的御靈神安心下來，衪看了眼有些透明的手指，又再繼續密切關注外面的孩子們，濃厚睡意驟然襲來，身形搖搖欲墜，眼簾像扇子般時而閉合，時而猛然張開。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwhMZS3aN9
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuopCElgTD
片刻後，剛好村民們發現兩個孩子並帶走他們。御靈神苦苦支撐至此，再也抗拒不了那股睡意，直直倒地落進夢鄉中。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9KcqyCORz
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNmjTbOC7D
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRBF7aDwzk
這是霧霾瀰漫、環境模糊不清的地方。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mt6sKtMtH
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvSdiJOqIz
御靈神四周張望附近樹林的輪廓，可祂抬頭入目一片萬里無雲、一望無垠的晴空。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIh8GJCiAA
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXN7fjMDIb
這不是衪平日所待的神社範圍。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJMVzAIQ72
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7UlrLKRCz
「自從神力不足後，吾輩已經很久沒有巡視領地了。」御靈神僵硬地邁步行走，繼續道：「雖然只曾用鏡面遠距離巡視，但這地方沒什麼印象，是後山嗎？」127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZO8aYhoJZ
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOvUSIsqAZ
最初是一小步一小步，身體習慣動作後再加上夢境沒有任何限制，御靈神放寬心奔跑起來，景色伴隨祂的動作變得清晰，如孩童般於花路中轉圈圈，欣賞流動的清徹河流，爬上大樹眺望遠方。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpDmoAnAjw
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZccJvQfIR

127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdx2q91PJS
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUtn1K5vr5
然而在美麗的景色中，衪看到附近的空曠地方正發生戰爭，血花綻放於大地，殘骸遍野，哀號聲連連，不祥烏鴉徘徊流連。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk5oJ6gv8c

兩方人馬喊著口號交戰，士兵一個接一個倒下，亦有人從後方頂替而上，他們各自為了己方的利益與目的交戰。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWZdBGamNS
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTP2Z2iDma
死亡、絕望、貪欲、願望以及幾縷其他白色能量混成一團，像要孕育什麼怪物似的，那個黑色大團子懸浮於戰事上方，人們卻無法目視。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIleJQ4JeFe
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mwov6HP9I
戰事沒有終結，這場戰爭完結，轉眼間又迎來新的戰爭。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRlohLYM6k
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGRkEl7zHM
同為無法被人類目視的御靈神漫步於戰場，壓迫感撲面而來，人類在祂身邊廝殺、吶喊、倒地死亡。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3EKvGgve2
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcotwejzet
其中一位與衪外貌相似的貴族女將軍倒地，她似乎能看見御靈神，雙目緊緊凝視御靈神，直到敵方補上致命一擊，刀刃毫不留情抹入本已失去行動力的女將軍胸口中。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkg7ave6f6
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQbEnbwLb5
她帶著怨恨的雙眼失去光澤，身上所纏繞的黑氣與靈魂被黑團所吸入。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDT2iI9Rzo
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcNNpWpMzZ
御靈神只是看著這一切，無法轉移視線，更無法為他們做出什麼幫助舉動，即使濃郁的血腥味令胸膛生痛、口腔苦澀似有話卻無法言明，欲言又止。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2DLanzlfF

戰爭有錯嗎？127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2fuRSZA6K

兩方人類為了己方生存而發動戰爭，錯了嗎？127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa7cNQrq3u
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjXXzfUYua
衪無法回答，但戰場上方的黑團貪婪地吸收一切負面能量，裡面彷彿有生命體在吸收營養，身型逐漸增大。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEQbLP5HVj
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5u4D3Hlmn
黑團貪婪地吞噬一切漆黑能量、情緒，體積瘋狂增長，但戰場上亦有人類為了守護一切的心、對家人的不捨與愛，化成了幾縷白光為黑團添加花紋。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RGzvzEbOc
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4FQzsIzMV
御靈神剛想再走近些黑團，以便更好觀察時，一道道空靈鈴聲止住祂的腳步，鈴聲時近時遠，伴隨與戰場上不同的人類說話聲。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1QK4upDcf
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL5HjOkAVn
聲音來自祂的腦海中，視線開始模糊不清、頭痛得像有什麼要從裡面破殼而出，太陽穴突突起跳，雙腳無力，渾身如棉。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ210jauSgBD
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmD3Q6VFI3
祂跪到地面，額頭冒出豆大汗水，冰冷的雙手死死按著頭，卻沒有作為，此刻沒有任何法子能停止折磨祂的頭痛，腦海中的聲音仍絮絮不休地說過不停。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBX76LZtmW

御靈神整個身體掉進漆黑虛無中，墜落感與窒息感迫使祂揮手掙扎，試圖找出方法阻止這荒唐的墜落，然而事願與違。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEhlgfrAFf

御靈神猛然張開眼睛，藍瞳失去高光與聚焦，祂如同缺水的魚類般大口大口呼吸，大腦慢慢回想起來。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oFyaN4cE4
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSqpsCk3ld
良久，藍瞳環顧四周熟悉的環境，祂感受到木板傳來暖意，想必衪已經睡了段頗長的時間。127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7ijbj8GWc
127Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdunnxPVSKt
「剛才的是夢境？……夢境，那個可疑的黑團……」御靈神開始緩和下來，待身體不再軟如棉後，祂坐起來細細思索那個怪異的夢境：「最初知道是夢境，後來完全投入進去了。看來吾輩還需要修練！」
